NSSDC ID: 1977-084A-10
Mission Name: Voyager 1
Principal Investigator: Dr. James W. Warwick
This experiment consisted of a sweep-frequency radio receiver operating in both polarization states, between 20 kHz and 40.5 MHz. The signal was received by a pair of orthogonal 10-m monopole antennas. Study of the radio-emission signals from Jupiter and Saturn over this range of frequencies yielded data concerning the physics of magnetospheric plasma resonances and nonthermal radio emissions from these planetary regions.
Mass: 7.7 kg
Power (avg): 5.5 W
Bit rate (avg): 0.266 bps
Questions or comments about this experiment can be directed to: Dr. Edwin V. Bell, II.
